106 posts in this topic

I finished reading Myth and Sexuality by Jamake Highwater - I really loved this book - thought it was really interesting

I started rereading Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. I read this book ages ago and started the second one but for whatever reason I had to put it down and now I've forgotten everything. I'm really liking rereading it though.

Almost finished my reread of the illustrated Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I've read it a million times but not illustrated and I love it.

Still reading Eye of the World but slowly and only every now and then.

Edit to add

Still reading Metro Winds too, by Isobelle Carmody

Also - put this in the november reads because I couldnt find the december one

Finished The Last Colony by John Scalzi. Pretty much standard Scalzi. Entertaining and fast reads (I think of them as snack novels) with the same kind of pacing, dialogue, wit and plot turns you get in the predecessor novels.

I "hopped" Zoe's Tale and picked up The Human Division since Zoe's Tale wasn't available at the library and it's the same story as in The Last Colony but told from a different character's perspective. That might be a mistake but I can't imagine it would be a big one. A

After that, I'll do A Deepness in the Sky or A Fire Upon the Deep depending on what my library has immediately.
